The first year will introduce you to techniques and software as well as help you develop a personal style through experimentation. You will also benefit from initiatives that take learning outside the classroom. These include studio visits to top production studios, where you can talk to people working at the leading edge of this dynamic art form as well as visits from Aardman.
Careers and opportunities in the creative industries are varied and include Film / TV / Web design and graphic design. As a student you will create an extensive portfolio to showcase your work.
